About Claude Corps

Claude Corps is a fellowship that places early-career talent in nonprofits, government agencies, and public-interest organizations to build AI solutions those organizations can continue using after the fellowship ends. It is a partnership between Anthropic, CodePath, and Social Finance. Fellows are full-time employees for a one-year term.

Each cohort is larger than the last, and every candidate deserves a process that feels organized, responsive, and human. That’s where you come in.

About the role

You’ll own recruiting and selection for Claude Corps, from finding candidates through accepted offers and the handoff to the teams responsible for onboarding and program delivery.

You set the recruiting plan for each cohort: how many fellows we need, when we need them, where we’ll find them, and how we’ll select them. You lead the team that makes it happen, hold the bar for who moves forward, and answer for hiring results to CodePath leadership and our partners.

You’ll partner across Marketing, Anthropic, the Claude Corps program team, and the AI Practice Leads, use data to guide decisions, and use AI to reduce repetitive work.

Key Activities

Set the plan and own the numbers

• Build the recruiting plan for each cohort, covering fellows needed, timeline, sourcing, selection, staffing, and tools
• Own the hiring forecast from application volume to accepted offers, with one weekly view of progress and risks
• Adjust the plan as results come in and bring clear recommendations to leadership and partners
• Keep program leadership and partners aligned on sourcing, selection, staffing, and progress toward hiring goals

Run selection

• Manage selection from application review through accepted offer, using the program’s eligibility requirements and evaluation criteria
• Train screeners and interviewers to apply the same standards as volume grows
• Use hiring results to sharpen screening questions, review guidance, and interviews

Lead and grow the team

Requirements

• You have led early-talent or high-volume recruiting at scale, owning the hiring plan, candidate pipeline, team, and results
• You can work backward from a hiring goal, track how candidates move through each stage, plan staffing, and explain why results differ from the plan
• You have built new candidate pipelines and partnerships, and you can show which sources led to hires
• You have built and led a team, including managing managers
• You have improved selection processes, trained interviewers to apply consistent standards, and used recruiting tools and AI to handle more hiring while maintaining candidate quality

Key Success Metrics

• Cohort hiring: Each cohort reaches its hiring target on time, with fellows who meet the program’s standards
• Candidate pipeline and sourcing: Applications open early, and effective candidate sources are established for every cohort
• Selection quality: Screeners apply the same criteria, and regular reviews and final-round results help the team improve
• Offer acceptance: Offers go out on time, enough candidates accept to meet cohort goals, and the onboarding team receives complete information
